!Electric Fruit!

Problem Scenario

My goal is to see which fruit will produce the most electricity mostly for inside knowledge I don't inspect it to help me in the future.

Broad Question

Which fruit makes the best battery?

Specific Question

Does fruit choice effect the amount of electricity produced?

Hypothesis

The lemon will produce the most electricity out of the fruits because it is sour and has a very strong taste

Variables

Independent Variable:

Type of fruit

Dependent Variable:

Electricity

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:

The age of fruit will stay the same and I will use the same exact method each time

General Plan

For my project I'm measuring the electricity in different kinds of fruits. Trying to find out if the type of fruit effects the amount of electricity produced. I have measure the electricity in 5 of each fruit to get a average and more accurate results. Also all the fruit was bought on the same day so the age of the fruit will be close to the same age. After I recorded all of my data I found the average of each fruit to give a better showing of the data.

Background Research

The five fruits i'm testing are Banana, apple,grapefruit,lemon, and orange. Banana is refered to a soft sweet " dessert" banana. Banana grows in large clumps hanging off of a tree. Bananas contain three sugars - sucrose,fructose and glucose - combined with fiber. a banana gives an instant boost of energy. Research has proven that only eating 2 bananas provide enogh ennergy for a 90 workout. The banana is the number one fruit in the world's leading athletes.

Get fruits and all materials needed( Fruit,Copper wire,Multimeter.)2. Inject copper wire in one side of fruit and inject the black wire on the multimeter in the other side of fruit.3. Place the red wire on the multimeter to the end of the copper wire.4. Turn multimeter to 200 mv .5. Record the data that it gives you.===Diagram=== ==Photo List== --------------------==Results== ===All Raw Data===

Data Analysis

Conclusion

I found my hypotheses was proven incorrect. I don't think it had anything to do with the age of the fruit i think the grapefruit just produces more electricity. I think I partially answered my question because I found that the grapefruit produced the most electricity out of the five fruits I used. I don't really know which fruit produces the most electricity because I can't test every single fruit there is.

Discussion

My project could have been better. I could of used more than five fruits and get a better idea of which fruit we often eat has the most electricity. I think I did answer partially of my question. This project could be answered in many ways, For example you could see which fruit can light the most light bulbs or just test more than five of each fruit to get a better average.

Abstract

I chose this project because when I found out that I could measure the electricity in fruit it interested me and I wanted to know what fruit produces the most electricity so I found a way to make it my science fair project. My question was " Does fruit choice effect the amount of electricity produced?" My hypotheses was that the lemon would produce the most electricity out of the five fruits I'm experimenting with. I did answer most of my question because I only tested five fruits. I could of made my project better by testing more fruits to get a better under standing in which fruit produces the most electricity. Out of the five fruits I tested Banana,apple,grapefruit,lemon, and orange the grapefruit produced the most electricity.
